The Major League amateur draft starts Sunday, and many fans are wondering who each team, including the KC Royals, will take. The Royals hold the seventh overall pick in the first round of the draft, which will be televised on MLB Network and ESPN beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
In most recent years, the team has addressed its need for starting pitching, starting with Brady Singer, Jackson Kowar, Daniel Lynch, and Kris Bubic, who were all taken with the Royals’ first four picks in 2018. In 2020, Asa Lacy fell to KC in the fourth spot.
